This is the first lesson of the 2nd book of the art tutorials series, the 2nd book is about the fundamentals, this video is from chapter 1 "light and values". In this lesson, I talk everything light and values, I go over the physics, and the conditions that effect values. Than I go over the value scale, the modeling factors and the way we apply values on objects. Next I do some examples on the 1,2,3 read method of painting values. After that I start talking about cast shadows and how we calculate shadows for different objects. That is for the lecture part of this lesson which is an hour and a half video, then you can continue by watching the exercise video where i do over 60 or so exercises on painting values, casting shadows and doing both in fun and detailed, narrated exercise. If you are starting up as an artist or just want to do fun exercises on values and casting shadows check out the videos and let me know what you think. Hope you find it useful
